  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Post Your Scarlet-X Rig

I went with the Cinevate over the Oconnor FF because of the price.

I have a couple of the Cinevate FF's - they are great units… But I'm looking at ditching them for O'Connor or Arri's. I really would rather have a FF unit that *drops* onto the iris rods, rather than the Cinevate that slides onto the iris rods. It's a small thing, but sometimes I want to slip it on / off without taking the time to take off the matte box & other accessories.

Would I have any issues with mounting my O-box with the gear I listed above?
 
@ Les

All I can assume with Dragon is that you get 5k @ 24,25,30 fps. So when I switch to 5k on Scarlet it's enlightening to see just how much cropping there is on the the Shoot 35 @ about 12mm on the Tokina. I suspect similar results on the O Box. I know Phil is running with an O box on "Skully" be nice to find out just what happens at 5K with the tonkina around 12 mm which he also has. Hint Hint Phil if your reading this ......

P.S. I reckon people who are buying MBs right now need to give careful consideration to not what just works right now .......but also the future...... if you're considering Dragon upgrade......same with lenses for that matter !

At about 13mm with a follow focus ring attached you can get away with 5k and the OConnor O-Box WM. Without filters and a focus ring you could push the lens a bit further into the box to still use the sunshade even at 11mm 5k.

6k, I have no idea yet.
 
Phil thanks for the very prompt update.

Do you have a search bot that searches for "Phil" entries on Reduser ; ) ?

Looks like I see an O connor in my future. Thanks again, Mike.
 
Mike, i have a small team of smurfs that listen for my name on the internet and alert me via flare. It also could be mobile internet tech.
